Joyful Delta Day |
|
Version 1 is a full studio recording. It is almost eleven minutes long, with almost no vocals. (This version was released by mistake)
|
In Another Land [25th Anniversary mispress CD version]
|
|
Version 2 is the same recording as version 1, but with the vocal track included
Note that the latter lyrics appear to reflect on Word's refusal to release the album Something New Under The Son when it was recorded. Also, the 'I've lost my harmonica Albert' lyric is lifted from the song A Simple Desultory Philippic by Simon And Garfunkel |
In Another Land [25th Anniversary CDs, non-mispressed versions, 2003 CDs]

Version 3 is the same recording as version 2, but faded out at a little over four minutes. A second or two of the start is also edited out

Tears will turn to laughter
Sorrow turn to joy
Forever after
All you girls and boys
Join the choir triumphant
Lift your hands up high
Start the celebration
In that sweet by and by
We shall be together
And forever we shall stay
On that joyful delta day
Demons they will tremble
Darkness will recede
Satan will be trampled
Captives will be freed
Kingdoms will be broken
Stongholds be brought down
Armies disassembled
Rulers lose their crown
Tyrants will be toppled
Despots be dismayed
On that glorious delta day
Children gather round him
Like flowers in a field
They lift their faces up
Their fears and torments healed
The beasts shall be unburdened
The birds go unrestrained
The oceans be renourished
By creation's sweet refrain
The earth shall be restored
New music shall be played
On that beautiful delta day
Yeah
My future will be written
The past will be erased
My memory could be altered
The end of all disgrace
The troubles that we've had in life
Shall finally be removed
The childhood pain shall pass away
The works of Satan too
The sweet sources of sorrow
The works of love displayed
On that final glorious delta day
Go Jonny go
Da da da la da
Da da ah la da
Da da la la da
Yeah yeah-o-aah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ye-eh
Wa-oh-ah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hoo ah wa wa
It will never be released, ah no, ah no
They won't let it happen
They won't like the tune
They would say my voice is bad
They will dance on the tombstone
They will, I believe in twenty years, you know
That's not dead man, that's not dead
Just fits why don't christians like the blues
Why don't they like the blues
Why don't they like the blues
Why don't they sing the blues
Why don't they sing the blues
What's the matter with the blues
Why don't they speak the blues
I make these albums and I do nothing but lose
Wo-oh oh why don't they need the blues
I lost my harmonica Albert [Spoken]
Da da da ba da
Da da da ba da
Tears will turn to laughter
Sorrow turn to joy
Forever after
All you girls and boys
Join the choir triumphant
Lift your hands up high
Start the celebration
In that sweet by and by
We shall be together
And forever we shall stay
On that joyful delta day
Demons they will tremble
Darkness will recede
Satan will be trampled
Captives will be freed
Kingdoms will be broken
Stongholds be brought down
Armies disassembled
Rulers lose their crown
Tyrants will be toppled
Despots be dismayed
On that glorious delta day
Children gather round him
Like flowers in a field
They lift their faces up
Their fears and torments healed
The beasts shall be unburdened
The birds go unrestrained
The oceans be renourished
